    From the moment we arrived at Heirloom, nestled within the elegant Cape Grace Hotel, we were treated to an experience that felt both luxurious and warmly familiar. The service was impeccable, Charmain, our attending host, was an absolute gem. Her attentiveness, charm, and genuine hospitality elevated the evening beyond expectation. As locals, we love to indulge in Cape Town’s quieter seasons, exploring its culinary treasures, and Heirloom delivered in every way. The food was simply fantastic: beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavour. Every detail, from the ambiance to the pacing of the meal, was perfectly curated. We have special dietary requirements and it was made easy without a fuss. Thank you to the Heirloom team for making our evening so memorable. We’ll be back soon, and we’ll be asking for Charmain by name. Thanks to Charmaine, we also took a tour to the whiskey cellar , witch if im not not mistaken has the largest selection of Whiskeys in Southern Africa, and it was bustling in the little cellar.
